Greenhouse and Garden Manager Josh Darfler reports the Amorphophallus konjac, voodoo lily, is once again blooming in the Lynch Laboratory greenhouses. The greenhouse staff is especially excited this year because one of our two A. konjac flowers won third place at the 2018 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show, and now our second one is just opening up! Be sure to come by the greenhouse for a real olfactory surprise, but be quick the flowers don’t last long.
